hey hey hey!

Recently i've been slowly transitioning from vegetarian to vegan, if i'm honest it's been a lot harder than i thought it would be but i am determined to see it through because it's something i feel so passionate about! I have always been, but i used to turn a blind eye because of past situations, like family life, school etc... It's quite a tricky thing to go through when you live under your parents roof, even now i get comments from the fam!

I've been obsessing over vegan bloggers and youtubers lately, My favourite at the moment is the beautiful Essena (Blog here) She has educated me so much, and inspires me everyday!

A BREAK THROUGH - well not to be overly dramatic, but i've managed to work out a way to take outfit posts in my room! Granted my camera is stacked on books....on my bed! But it saves me stripping in the freezing cold!

I try not to make this blog too much about anxiety, but i've really been suffering these past few weeks. I've been struggling to leave the house much, and when i have it's resulted in a big ol' panic attack! Just trying to push past it and hope it's just a shitty phase!

Hey guys!

Hope you're all having a lovely week!

Not going to lie, i've been struggling recently, especially this past week. I've got in such a rut and i feel so disappointed in myself, when i dropped out of uni i really believed i'd be able to experiment and see what i really want to do. Not to be, kind of 'trapped' in retail. I suppose thats why blogging is so popular! It's such an amazing outlet to focus on after a shitty day dealing with the general public! Definitely lifts my spirits!

Last night i went with my papa to see Peter Gabriel (a very special thing my papa and i do whenever he's touring). I've been seeing him since i was about 8 or 9 and it really is humbling to sit and listen to his beautiful music, i think it came just at the right time!

Excuse my very dark outfit, not sure what's going on really but i've definitely been reaching for the blacks recently, then again who doesn't love black?!

Got this blanket wrap from a local charity shop last week and it's damn snuggly! I'm not really a massive fan of tartan, i think i got a bit sick of it last year but i couldn't pass up this £4 bargain! Plus i love the blue and green in it <3

keep warm!

What a start to the week...Been nursing a very poorly doggy of mine, after loosing my other dog last month, it's been scaring me so much! He's looking better though so a big sigh of relief!

I think velvet turban/head wraps are my favourite accessory for autumn/winter this year, they keep me ears warm without making me too hot, plus they are adorable! The collections growing, plus i keep making them when ever i find material (i'm not sorry!)

Hope you're all having a lovely week!

88 palette review

Ebay 88 Warm Palette | Review

15:05

If you are like me and can't get enough of neutral eyeshadows - this ones for you! This little beauty is around £5 on ebay - yes you read it right, £5!!!

As for quality, i would give it ...hmmm, i would say 8/10 (with a primer) There are one or two shadows in this palette that do fall short (very sheer and a bit chalky) but with the amount of choice you get, you really don't notice very much! The shimmery ones are very pigmented and the matte whites, creams & peaches are so soft and lovely to work with! I literally could not fault this palette.

One thing that majorly impressed me was the fact the eyeshadows don't irritate my eyes! Trust me the struggle is real, i wear contact lenses and have very easily irritated eyes. As i don't believe this palette is hypoallergenic for being such a cheap product, i did have my doubts! I can literally wear my eye make-up all day and it doesn't bother me at all! 'SQUEE'

Not a fan of neutrals? No problem! There is literally a 88/120 palette for everyone, just pop '88 palette' into ebay and see what beautys come up!

Have fun!
